Looking for UK Keto Friends

What’s your fasting times

Hi, I've been on a keto diet/lifestyle for 2 weeks now, currently 8lbs down, which is a good start. Been following the advice on Diet doctor.com, using my fitness as a guide for calorie ratios etc and to maintain my carbs. Still learning tho. Because of feeling full a lot I do a 16/8 fast during the week, with a full 24 hour at the weekend. It works quite well and may look to extend. Look forward to hear how you and others get on.

Hello,

I have just started Keto also (day 3 only) so it is all very new to me but I have been reading up a lot about it. I work offshore so the food is cooked for me and I am really struggling to find enough fat without the carbs so my food diary is very weird at the moment. For example I had 3 (undercooked) poached eggs with blocks of chedder cheese for breakfast this morning which wasnt the most apetising but worked well for my macros! When I get home I intend to have a 7 hour eating window and one day fast. How does everyone find fasting? I am not sure I will manage to do that! Also what electrolyte supplements did you use (if any) to replace the water loss at the start (ive read it prevents "keto flu") i was going to have dioralyte but it has 3.6g of carbs per sachet! Looking forward to hearing everyone's expereince.

Hey @Lashes1986, that is what I worry about, I am very motivated at the moment but I am going to Thailand next month and I doubt I will be able to keep it up over there in carb country! I've read a lot of things saying that as soon as you stop keto you end up putting weight back on really quickly. I am hoping that is not the case! Thanks, I actually have a Home Bargains in the town where I live so I will check it out

Hi @Lashes1986
I am from the UK and also trying to do the keto diet and I intermittent fast- I think I’m in your other forum on here too 👍🏻
I’ve been trying keto for the last 4-5 days. I slipped up last night though when I went out for food with my friends.
I’ve done intermittent fasting 8-16 for around 2 years and love it.
How are you finding keto? X

@Lashes1986 I had a bad weekend, too much alcohol and carbs! I’m back on it today though! Have you had any flu symptoms?

Hi everyone, I’m also starting Keto and looking for friends to inspire me. I’ve done a vague meal plan for the week but it seems so boring. Hope some of you add me 😀

Hi, I am starting keto from 10th June, some tips and open diary would be useful

@Lashes1986 Hey, I will be in thailand for 2 weeks so a long time to dodge all the rice and noodles but I am hoping it will be easier than I think. Defo doing keto as a lifestyle change, I am actually quite enjoying the food that I can still eat. Day 7 for me today, yesterday and day 5 were hell as I had really bad sugar cravings but they seem to have settled now. Do you check your ketone levels ever? Ive been keeping an eye on mine and so far ive been in ketosis since day 3 which im surprised about.

@Lashes1986 Fine actually, I eat a crap load of protein generally. I eat more or less the same thing most days, but it doesn't bother me particularly.
